Graphs+and+Drawing

Graphs and Drawing Tools

As a Math and Science teacher, I use graphing quite alot in the classroom. Being able to read and create graphs is one of my 5th grade TEKS. This year, I have taught the students how to use Excel to create their charts and graphs. I do think it is important though for the students to be able to use a wide range of tools to create graphs. I like the website, Create a Graph, for it's user friendly feel. I also think Dipity was really neat for creating timelines. I think it would be really beneficial for Social Studies or Literature programs. I also enjoyed the tutorials on Chartle. I think that would be a nice feature for students (I do get tired of hearing "what do I do next again?"). :) I think my favorite was Dabbleboard though. It had so many uses besides just creation of charts. I think it would be very handy for creating thinking maps as well!
